Alternate Throttle is more aggressive than the Stock throttle right?

Dark9T · 09-15-2011, 11:01 PM

anyone try out the Alternate Throttle map yet?
not sure it will be more aggressive than stock or less

I don't think so. The Alternate Throttle maps came after people were not happy with how non-linear the stock maps were. I believe the Alternate Throttle maps are closer to being linear. However, with the latest calibrations, Cobb was able to improve on their Alternate throttle maps and produce their Linear throttle maps.

I'm not sure about these new maps. Under WOT, the power delivery is "in stages", whereas before it was smoother. Also, the torque delivery is not as strong as before.

Where can I download the old maps???

slowSwede · 09-16-2011, 07:40 AM

I've only had problems with throttle response on the very first set of maps, or problems was a strong word, since I had a hard time getting used to the throttle mapping, V1 maps.
These new maps are more linear than ever and feel like stock until you push the throttle.

Not sure what you mean "in stages"... on my car the power delivery is smooth as a freshly waxed vagina.

And the linear map... near perfection IMO. The pedal is much more predictable and part throttle is stupid nice

<--me on my drive into work this morning.

+1. I used to use the v2 maps when I went to the track because the stock maps were too on/off in weird places. The new maps are exponentially better; I'll use the aggressive linear map at the track next weekend. "Predictable" is the right word.

...and the drive to work IS just a little bit more fun!!!

slowSwede · 09-16-2011, 07:58 AM

Had to pick up the kids after school/kinder....they were screaming and laughing all the way home with these maps.
But hey, they've liked Cobb since V1!

I'd also like a picture of Vasills rings that accidentally touches buttons.

We have now fully developed the throttle mapping in the BMW to improve over our initial v1 and v2 throttle mapping offerings. They are still available for download, but we are very proud of the new new Linear Throttle map. This map has truly linear and predictable power that is consistent across the entire RPM range.

The new v301 mapping addresses the limp code issues in the v300 maps. Otherwise, power output running the v300 93 octane map or the new v301 Aggressive map are the same.

From the v203 mapping, there were some revisions to improve partial throttle and cold start performance.

The new naming scheme offers users the ability to increase performance a little bit or to increase performance a bunch to satisfy the needs of different kinds of owners. Daily and Sport maps will improve performance over stock while not pushing the car all the way the edge of performance. With the Aggressive map, 93+ octane fuel is highly recommended and your vehicle will need to be in perfect mechanical condition (new plugs, etc.), but will make the car run like

I am running the Aggressive Linear and it is butter! I had been running the V203 V2 map prior to the new map release and the throttle response just wasn't there from about 0-30% throttle. I've only driven the car about 20 miles on the new map but I couldn't be happier. GREAT JOB!

I must say that my car has been completely transformed! The power delivery is smooth, and from the looks of it, the throttle closures are all gone. I'll do some more testing over the weekend!

One quirky thing that I noticed: my car completely RANDOMLY decides to turn on the blower fan on the first position! At first I thought I was accidentally pushing the button with one of my rings, but then I realized that's not the case!

It happens randomly. Sometimes it won't happen for a few minutes, sometimes I have to turn the fan off 5 times in a minute!

Anyone else seeing this as well?

Ring(S) as in more than one? Did you play for the Bulls or something?

Hahha! No, I did not play for the Bulls.

You are just not man enough to wear jewelry.

I uninstalled and re-installed Cobb from my ECU last night. Hoping that the blower fan will now stop turning on randomly...

JStang · 09-16-2011, 08:40 AM

Something like that!

Kidding aside, I do appreciate your unbiased opinions to the Cobb threads. You have been extremely helpful throughout.

My update gave me ECU not recognized or corrupted....hopefully steve from COBB will be this resolved

IMHO, WOT isn't the real test for this tune, it's when you modulate the throttle or go from half throttle to no throttle/WOT to half throttle/etc. I did that with the new map and it was smooth and predictable. The older maps made you feel like the car was about to be cut in half if you tried that. (Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but any of us running the AP knows what I'm talking about.)

Good job, if Stage 2 is this smooth we have a game changer.

This is pretty effing

because I know exactly what you're talking about.

What is the difference between the linear throttle, alternate throttle v1, and alternate throttle v2 maps? I could not find an explanation on Cobb's website. Thanks

Checkout Cobb's mapnotes. Cobb has descriptions of the different throttle maps under the Revision section.

Thanks. I saw that, but didn't read it closely enough. Looks like my answer is in the "2.02" section. I don't really care about smoothness, I just want maximum power throughout the rev range starting as early as possible. Should I just use the stock, aggressive map?

themyst · 09-16-2011, 01:51 PM

The current stage 2 beta some of us are testing has a very linear throttle mapping. You need to go deep into the throttle to boost past 7 psi

I guess im still trying to unlearn the Procede throttle feel, which I did enjoy very much!
